Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #1!

Way over on the other coast fellow Canadian Close To My Heart Consultants Darla & Michelle have started a new sketch challenge blog!

As you can see Michelle created a super fun sketch that gets you started yet leaves lots of room for you to make it your own.
I decided to make a card using some of the wonderful Chantilly Paper along with Chocolate and Sunny Yellow card stock.

The super cute metal bow was from the Boutique Assortment that was on
the While Supplies Last a few weeks ago and the yellow ribbon was from
my stash.

I think this turned into a very cute card that was quick and easy. Congratulations to Darla & Michelle on their new blog and follow this link to see some of the other artwork created using this sketch!

Whew! November was a blur of Christmas Card Workshops, Home Parties, and a Card Buffet! I'm a little tired but do have plans for a few card buffets and other crafty fun this month. A couple of cards that I created for the recent card buffet turned out super cute and use a mix of old and new product! Love when I can do that.

This "stag" card features the awesome green buffalo plaid paper from the current Beary Christmas Paper Packet and the stag is from Cricut Artistry but the rest is retired CTMH products from my stash! The stamp is from last year and is called D1694 Very Merry Holiday if you are able to find one for sale online grab it! You will not be disappointed the whole stamp set is awesome and I will be using mine for years to come. As mentioned the stag is from Cricut Artistry and I cut it out in white daisy cardstock and chocolate cardstock (retired) and the leaves are from Cricut Flower Market in Fern.
The design for this card comes from the Close to My …

Hello, my friends! My apologies for being a little MIA the past several weeks but when you have too much going on something always falls through the cracks! BUT school is back in which means way more crafting time for me!

This weeks sketch from Atlantic Hearts is up and I decided to play with a little more of the Jack Paper Collection, it recently retired and that is a real shame because I love these papers! I am working on my annual Christmas Card workshops and decided to have a little fun with the bearded man papers... I give you "Warm Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses".
Sometimes going a little outside the box can be so much fun and I really hope my workshop attendees love this card as much as I do. To create the card I used Slate Cardstock for my base and added the " Bearded Men in Hats". To add a bit more whimsy the mustache border is from Cricut Artistry and the branches for my mistletoe is from Cricut Flower Market cut out in New England Ivy and Fern cardstocks…
